    KBO ,

     

    I'm afraid this can't be achieved. You should be the admin of that workspace then you can delete it.

KBO ,

 

Based on my test, if you are assigned as an admin, you can delete the app workspace or new app workspace by click ellipse icon -> Edit Workspace or Workspace setting-> Delete Workspace.

    Hi,

    thank you for your aswer but this requires that I am a member of all workspaces, right? So what is If Im not member of all workspaces, is there any other way to delete workspaces from others?

      Hey KBO ,

      I was looking to delete a workspace that I am not a member of, because the admin of the workspace has left the company.

      If you are a Power BI Admin, you can do it in the Admin Portal.

      - Go to Admin Portal on PBI Service
      - Go to Workspaces,  and you will see a list of workspaces.

      - Hover over the workspace to be delete, click the elipsis and select Access
      - Make yourself an Admin 
      - Then go into the workspace itself to delete it.

      I hope this helps.
